The Complete Loretta Lynn Illustrated Discography (hardback)

Loretta Lynn was born in a family built cabin in Butcher Hollow, Kentucky, the second of eight children in the early I930‘s. Hers was a family of music, most often singing in church and at other local social gatherings. Loretta‘s mother, Clara Butcher, was known to have sung and taught her children classic songs such as ‘The Great Titanic." Loretta married young and longed to get away from Appalachia in the late 1940s. She and husband Mooney ended up in rural Washington state in Whatcom County in the Custer area since Mooney was able to get a good job there.
